APPRENTICE star Navid Sole says it was Nicki Minaj who helped him overcome his mental health struggles.<\/p>\n
Navid, who works as a pharmacist, paid tribute to the American singer as part of World Mental Health Day where he revealed his mission to revolutionise mental health support.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
In his role, Navid said he hoped to raise awareness about the vital role of pharmacist prescribers in mental health support.<\/p>\n
Speaking about his own experiences, Navid, 29, said: \u201cMy journey towards championing mental health wasn't a smooth ride; it was a rollercoaster.<\/p>\n
\u201cNicki Minaj's unwavering spirit inspired me to confront my mental health struggles head-on and transform them into a catalyst for change.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs someone who faced the crushing weight of social anxiety and witnessed the impact of mental health issues within my family, I understand the gravity of these battles.<\/p>\n
\u201cThose experiences fuelled my commitment to stand up and be the advocate I wished I had during my darkest days.<\/p>\n \u201cIn the depths of my struggles, I found solace in Nicki\u2019s music, which lifted me from the abyss. Now, I'm on a mission to extend that lifeline to others.\u201d<\/p>\n Navid, who graduated from Kings College London with a Master\u2019s degree in pharmacy in 2017, said he hoped to champion how pharmacists can help take some pressure off the NHS\u2019 mental health services.<\/p>\n He explained: \u201cBreaking free from the stereotypes surrounding pharmacist prescribers is crucial to me.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI want to showcase their invaluable role in mental health care. By shedding light on this often-overlooked aspect, we can ease the pressure off our overwhelmed NHS, making care more accessible and efficient.<\/p>\n \u201cPharmacists are the unsung heroes of mental health support. They're in the community, accessible and empathetic.<\/p>\n \u201cYet, their role remains underestimated. Let's increase awareness and knowledge about what they can do for mental health patients. Let's make them the first line of defence and support.\u201d<\/p>\n Singer Sinitta backed Navid\u2019s mission which he kicked off today.<\/p>\n Navid, who also appeared on Celebs Go Dating, added: \u201cCelebrities like Sinitta standing by this cause exemplify the collective strength needed to combat the mental health pandemic.<\/p>\n \u201cTheir influence amplifies our message, making it heard far and wide. Let's build a movement that sparks change, resonates with the masses, and ultimately saves lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/picture>BREAK THE CYCLE <\/span><\/p>\n
